Quality Shoe Lyrics

Artist: Mark Knopfler
Album: A Ragpicker's Dream

You got your toecaps reinforced with steelHard-wearing sole and heelMake those tired feet feel like newTake your pick, black or brownGreat for the country or the man in townYou're gonna need a quality shoe

You don't want no stand-by pair'Cos these'll take the wear and tearMade to take good care of youFor that trip by road or railFor extra grip on those rocky trailsYou're gonna need a quality shoe

Now they maybe ain't too hot for dancingBut I don't foresee too much of thatYou ain't exactly gonna be prancingAround in the moonlightWith a cane and a top hat

If you could use a change of paceAnd be excused from the rat raceJust take a look at what's on viewLace 'em up, walk aroundI guarantee you can't wear 'em downYou're gonna need a quality shoe

Now I wish you sunny skiesAnd happiness wherever you may goBut you got to realiseThere'll be wind, there'll be rainAnd occasional snow

You're gonna want to smile in themIf you're gonna walk a mile in themThere'll be times when you'll be blueTo laugh at rainy days and thenMake your getaways in themYou're gonna need a quality shoe

You got your toecaps reinforced with steelHard-wearing sole and heelMake those tired feet feel like newTake your pick, black or brownGreat for the country or the man in townYou're gonna need a quality shoe
